List:  I have been assigned to "recondition" for sale a Sohmer Grand, =
serial #30613,  a 5'10" specimen.  I pulled the action, and noticed =
damper flanges wobbly.  Noticed that they are glued in to the damper =
tray, and 4 have come loose.
    They don't want me to do much to it except make it work, just sell =
it pretty much like it is.  Should I remove the dampers, and drill holes =
to screw the flanges in?  Any thoughts, because I know that if 4 are =
loose now, when it is sold, I will be the one to go to the customers =
house to glue more in when they come loose.
    Also, I noticed that the pin block holes (from underneath) are not =
drilled all the way through the block, except in the mid section, where =
you can feel the dimples where the drill bit came close to going =
through.  Is this a normal thing, or has some other tech tried to =
partially rebuild this, and didn't do it right?  Should they always be =
drilled through the bottom of the block?
